Legendary Tamil comedian Goundermani turned 81 today and while fans of the actor were initially bummed that there wasn't too much celebration, Tamil twitter was quick to fix it by revisiting some of his iconic comedy scenes and super-hilarious memes. Goundermani, often paired with his on-screen regular Senthil was known for slap-stick comedy and specialized in counter-dialogues against anyone and everyone (even superstars and politicians were never sparred which is partly what made his humour iconic).

Some of the twitter posts that caught our attention are listed here:
